About Peter Barry

It is my sincere wish that when you are ready and at a pace comfortable to you, you will begin your own personal journey for creating more of what you desire in your practice and life. Coaching can help you accelerate the results of your journey. I understand that dentistry is a relationship business and that dental professionals must care deeply about their patients and about each other.

Therefore, financial success, clinical excellence, and human integrity must go hand-in-hand. Your success strategies must be designed with these ideologies in mind. Your coaching support must also be highly personalized and specific to your unique personality, practice philosophy, and life circumstances, because “no two practices are the same in the people they attract, the team they employ, the work they inspire, the information they pass on, the emotions and feelings they create, and the rate at which they learn or the effectiveness with which they work.” Because of this, the coaching strategies that work for you could be completely different from those used by a colleague who may have goals that are similar to yours. Your coaching experience must also be intellectually stimulating and emotionally inspiring. A good coach is your personal partner who is able to help you see things on a broader level, while also helping you integrate your talents with your professional opportunities and personal life circumstances.

When you contact me, please take your time to explore your needs, your opportunities, and of course “your other options”. Have fun exploring! The world is your playground and the opportunities are abundant for those who choose to play the game of dentistry at higher levels. Enjoy your journey!
